Dogs constantly go to the street, where the feces of other animals are sniffed, they dig their nose and gnaw sticks. Having come home, four-legged friends can lick their paws, eat raw meat, which was badly checked at the veterinary station, many dogs hunt small rodents in nature ...

I chose this particular drug as the first anthelmintic for babies. In a month the puppies already weighed 400-450 g each, it was difficult to measure the usual preparations, but with Procox there were no problems, and the puppies suffered well. |
How often is it necessary to give a dog worms drugs?
It is necessary to give anthelmintic drugs to the dog at least 3-4 times a year, without fail it should be done 10-14 days before vaccination. It is imperative to weigh the animal in order to calculate the exact dose, it is impossible to use the means "by eye" in any case. With a correctly calculated dose, these drugs rarely cause any unpleasant reactions of the body.
For prophylactic purposes, it is enough to give the medication once. The output of a large number of dead worms after this, with feces or emetic masses, indicates a strong invasion. In this case, you should enter a repeated dose in 1-2 weeks. For preventive treatment, it is better to use broad-spectrum agents.
